John H. Embretsen commented on DERBY-2361:
------------------------------------------
My 2 cents:
I would say document all possible security mechanisms (with examples), even the defaults -
it won't hurt. Just mark the defaults as defaults in certain scenarios. The defaults may change
in the future, and having all options documented will save us some work when that happens.
Also, I think the following page needs to be updated to also mention the STRONG_PASSWORD_SUBSTITUTE_SECURITY
mechanism (but perhaps that is something for another Jira):

> The Derby Server and Administration guide talks about the different security mechanisms,
but does not give examples of how these can be used via connection URLs, it only mentions
the client DataSource field names.

> The documentation should give examples of how to use the different security mechanisms
via connection URLs, and perhaps an example of how the client field names would be used programmatically.
